What Fiction are you reading this week, October 31, 2021? [View all]

Finally reading The Girl Who Reads on the Metro by Christine Féret-Fleury. A funny, and gloriously zany modern fairytale about books, book lovers and book sellers. Right up my alley.

Listening to Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet by Darynda Jones. Paranormal detective Charley has to deal with a client who everyone swears is crazy. Meanwhile, Albuquerque has been taken hostage by an arsonist. Fun stuff. Definitely zany.

What books are you treating yourself to this week?

Have a Happy Halloween!
